About

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University’s Bachelor’s of Architecture program with an academic and professional background that synthesizes the practices of architecture, landscape design, urban planning and ecology. I am seeking work that integrates these approaches to create meaningful places that benefit cultural and ecological systems alike.

With a strong academic footing in architectural design and visualization, and three years experience in landscape architecture and public projects management, I'm oriented toward career that engages public sector clients in the design, planning and management of large scale projects.

My recent academic work has focused on large scale design for the reclamation of abandoned industrial brownfields. In this work I seek to integrate cultural uses with the reclamation process to create a system of "negentropy" whereby the presence of humans is no longer destructive, but in fact, beneficial.
